Views: 58

In the village of Herrnhut (Sachsen, Germany) a brotherly agreement was made in 1727 between the Christian inhabitants through the hand of Count Zinzendorf.

“WHOEVER DOES NOT DAILY PROVE HIS FAITH BY HIS WHOLE CONVERSATION – THAT IT IS HIS FULL DETERMINATION TO BE DELIVERED FROM SIN,
THROUGH THE MERITS OF JESUS, AND TO FOLLOW DAILY MORE AFTER HOLINESS,
TO GROW IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS LORD,
TO BE CLEANSED FROM ALL SPIRITUAL IDOLATRY, VANITY, AND SELF-WILL,
TO WALK AS JESUS DID, AND TO BEAR HIS REPROACH AND SHAME
– SUCH AN ONE IS NOT A GENUINE BROTHER.”
